The new MacBook Air is great, but be sure to verify what SSD disk you got when you purchased it. Otherwise you might have been given an old and much slower Toshiba disk instead of the Samsung disk that is/was? supposed to be shipped with the new Air.

So why does this matter? Well, simply put, make sure to get what you're paying good money for. And you will actually notice the speed difference if you compare the two disks to each other, even with simple tasks such as unzipping a fairly large zip file.

OK, so Apple finally pushed the Lion seed as RTM, and yes, it's the same as the GM pushed to dev's a couple of weeks back. The MD5 is the same for the two files and it will most probably be marked as already installed in App Store if you've downloaded the GM release.

Well, a clean install of the Lion GM seed and the results is in. Looks good, seems much more stable and much needed settings for stuff such as Mission control and Launch pad has arrived in System Preferences.

Lion is right now actually usable, it doesn't crash as often as it did in some of the dev previews. Still no crash on different hardware (iMac 2011, MacBook PRO Late 2010).

A lot of my standard apps behaves a bit flaky, such as Firefox, but Mozilla and the other's will hopefully fix this before the actual release.

[EDIT]
OK, so after a lot of back and forth with the higher up's at AllTele the matter has finally been sorted out. I've got my connection back up N running and a good sorry for all the hassle package to seattle the matter.

I've revised the content in this post to reflect what happend and what's been done to correct it. The communication is in Swedish.

I've spent a couple of hours migrating from IntelliJ to Eclipse and the bad part is that IntelliJ's Eclipse support plugin sucks if you want to export Android projects.

So after some googling around I came up with the following solution, manually editing the project files.

Take notice of the different buildSpec's as well as the natures defined. Eclipse does not have a UI to edit and add natures so this is a good way of rescuing a project file or just update a project to support Android builds.

I've spent some time on the Commander project this weekend, a lot of nice changes have been implemented and one of the bigger changes is the new Command API that let's a user/developer to write his/her own commands and plug it in. The built in commands uses this as well. I will continue on this for a bit more, but it seems to be working.

Well, this was a fun exercise... I've added Swedish translation to my Clipboard Dialer application. It took two tries to get it to work right with Android market etc, but you always learn something new =)

Soo, to recap from my prev. post about v. 1.7, the only new in 1.8 and 1.9 is that it translates all texts etc to Swedish if that's you're locale.

FFS! AMD & ATI, how F'ing hard is it to test the releases BEFORE releasing to the general public. You just made me waste 2h of my life on rolling back and getting in depth on what you guys managed to screw up so I could fix it.

So, to everyone else, here's the deal. The latest ATI driver and catalyst control center (11.5), they forgot to sign the driver for Windows (at least for x64, haven't tested the 32-bit), making it not to install properly unless you've explicitly allowed the OS to install unsigned drivers. And you should not have that option enabled anyway.

My latest fascination is MongoDB, a document oriented database that stores data in the JSON format. It's a fast and simple to use database. And it's even easier to set up. This short post documents the basic setup and configuration needed to use MongoDB on OS X.

Add the following entries to your .gitignore if you're using IDEA IntelliJ for Android development.
Since the ignore list will ignore jar files, you'll need to use git add -f if you need to add any lib's in the form of jar files.
